I was in charge of organizing an ISO meeting on image permanence and durability in Chicago, and one of the members had offered to brew beer for the occasion. A plain brown bottle wouldn’t do. I took a couple of old photos I had taken in Chicago and added some text. The resulting beer bottles are distinctive and serve to document the event. Some attendees even took their bottles home with them.

I used Artisan to add the text. While the program is intended for photo books and photo gifts, its flexibility, along with the ability to save and print the resulting design, makes it ideal for special projects.

Very rarely do I support Trump, but I have to support his grocery ID card. I develop systems to produce IDs, driver’s licenses, and credit cards, and I like the expanded market. Everybody who buys groceries will now need an ID card.

I didn’t realize that grocery ID cards were even on the horizon, but the idea makes sense. The government needs to know who is buying too much sugar or consuming too much salt. Too much beef? Not any more. It’s all about healthy eating.

Along with the ID cards, we may need grocery police and a grocery store border enforcement patrol. We could even deport shoppers purchasing imported produce.

The U.K. is getting a balloon to celebrate Trump’s visit. Something is wrong. Why is the balloon in London and not in Washington, D.C.?

Fortunately, this problem is easily fixed. Photoshop to the rescue. I removed Trump Baby from a photo taken in the U.K. and dropped him into a photo of the White House. Now Trump Baby can fly over London and Washington at the same time. Problem resolved.

The process required to make color film is incredibly complicated. Ektachrome film must be produced in total darkness. The film has 15 layers containing 106 components. There are endless possibilities for mistakes. In addition, each batch of Ektachrome yields 3 million feet or 600,000 rolls. If anything does go wrong, it’s a real problem.

The problem with Kodak’s decision to bring back Ektachrome film is that I haven’t used film for the last decade and neither have most other people. In addition, slide film was never very popular.

Digital is simply too convenient. Film is not coming back, and Kodak needs to relearn this lesson. Kodak has forgotten what it learned in 2012.

My prediction is that Kodak will file for its second bankruptcy in 2020, and yes, companies can go bankrupt twice. I know because I worked for Creative Memories, which filed for bankruptcy in 2008 and again in 2013.

Due to continued global warming and the resulting increase in natural disasters, Creative Memories announced today that they are introducing a new line of Natural Disaster Albums. According to Creative Memories, “These new albums provide our customers with the means to celebrate global warming.”

The Natural Disaster Albums, which are available immediately, include Drought, Fire, Flood, and Hurricane. Flood and Hurricane are expected to be especially popular in Florida and other low-lying coastal areas, while the demand for Drought and Fire is expected to be high in California and other areas adversely affected by increased temperature.

The new albums will facilitate the healing process in the aftermath of natural disasters. Creative Memories elaborated, “Customers frequently lose their photographs and other memories in natural disasters. We want to give customers the means to create new albums which document their experience.”

The first four Natural Disaster Album are part of the permanent album line. They will be supplemented with additional albums as environmental consequences dictate.
